On JavaOne Oracle announced that JDeveloper will be free of charge. You can the announcement here, or look at the pages Oracle dedicated to their JavaOne performance. In the FAQ you can read that JDeveloper will not become an Open Source tool.
Actually, I think this is good news. From the Java-IDE’s I tried (Netbeans, JBuilder, JDeveloper) I found JDeveloper the best performing tool, and I liked developing in Java. Which was very new to me, since all the times I tried, I gave up because of the tool, or because of the performance (or lack thereof) of the end-product. The latter has changed dramatically over the years, and by using JDeveloper the tool is not an issue anymore as well.
Now if we can only serve Java-pages/webapplications straight from Apache, without an application server and all. There are too many implementations, EAR/WAR files have AS-specific configfiles, and I found getting an AS to work behind Apache not an easy task. Everybody knows that it should work, but for some reason NONE of the AS-suppliers seems to care to write some (I’m not even talking “decent”) documentation about it.
